Daniel Carvajal returns to Real Madrid training five months later
The Spaniard has returned to training under Carlo Ancelotti and is expected to be an option in the next game

Five months later, Daniel Carvajal is back in Real Madrid training . The defender revealed that he took an important step in his recovery and shared a photo in the team’s locker room on Monday, where he is seen wearing boots, indicating his return.
The Spaniard has been out since October after undergoing knee surgery due to a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligaments in his right leg. His last game was on October 5, 2024, in a home victory against Villarreal (2-0), in which he completed the 90 minutes.
“I missed you so much,” wrote the 33-year-old, who is expected to return to action at the end of the month, according to the Spanish press, after the international break at the Bernabéu against Leganés.
Carvajal was at the Metropolitano last Wednesday to watch the Madrid derby and celebrate Real’s qualification for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League , where they will face Arsenal . Good news for Ancelotti, who had only Lucas Vázquez in that position, having adapted Valverde for some matches.
